Perborough Castle
Perborough Castle is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort located at Compton in Berkshire. The site covers approximately , and lies on the chalky downs of West Berkshire. Archaeological evidence, from excavations in 1838, suggest that it was a lightly defended and perhaps a seasonally occupied site, containing no more than a few grain storage pits and slag pits, the extent of these being the obvious sign of continued occupation.〔http://www.castlesofengland.co.uk/southeast/perborough.php〕〔http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba39/ba39news.html British Archaeology, Issue no 39, November 1998〕
The Compton area had a sizeable community in the bronze-age and there are many other banks and field systems evident in the surrounding downs.
Today, the earthwork ditches and ramparts are not well defined, whether this was the original design, or more the result of deterioration over time is not clear, since the site is currently farmland and has been heavily ploughed.〔http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/4620/perborough_castle.html The Modern Antiquarian: Perborough Castle〕
